uhm...isn't the alpha channel embedded into the pic itself? afaik, at .gif pics i do choose the color which should be used for transparency into the "save as..." dialogue (Corel Photo paint).

in .gif images it is mostely the perfect black that is transparent..
But I wanne keep mine in .jpeg format cuz .gif reduces the quality seriously

if you have a prog that can handle tga, like photoshop, save your jpg as tga and open it in texview and save it as .paa

Tga can handle transparency very easy.

the only thing I wanne know is what i have to do to edit a part of a jpeg to make it look transparant in an cutscenen as a resource picture

You can't do that with a jpg file.  You have to save as a 32 bit .tga file with an alpha channel.  The black part of the alpha channel is the area which will be transparent.  You then have to convert it to a .paa using texview.
